Bingo! Good use of deduction there, Hibi. Yep, it's Allison Hayes.

How about... (...oh, and Fred if you're out there...NO CHEATING!!!!)

Really into these sorts of conspiracy theories, are we MM??? Just do us a favor here and lets keep this baby firming on the fields of Bosworth England and away from the direction of Dallas Texas and certain "Magic Bullet" theory, okay?! (...'cause I remember the last time THAT happened around here, and it wasn't pretty!) LOL

Yeah Hibi, you may be "offended" , but considering the topic of MissW's thread here, at LEAST you're not bored, RIGHT?! (...'cause I certainingly can't recall the last time I WAS both "offended" and "bored" at the same time anyway!)

>I never use the ignore button either. If the post is longwinded or boring after a few lines, I just skip reading it. I'm too nosy to ignore people. Even if I may not like the person (and that's pretty rare) they may have something interesting to say from time to time....... Kindred spirits we in this regard, Hibi. I've also never used the ignore function on any website of which I've been a member, and primarily because, as you stated, sometimes some of the people we may not especially care for, possibly due to clashing styles or some such issue, CAN post something of interest and which we may not have known beforehand. (...and I'm always up for learnin' new stuff!)

>Sounds to me more like you're skeptical of scientists, and science. Oooh VX, I'm SO hopin' MovieMadness replies to ya with somethin' like: "That's right, shweetheart. I've been shkeptical of dem shcientists ever shince the Dodson Case, and when that dame in the lab coat shent me on that wild goose chase down to the Shan Pedro docks!"

>More evidence, not that any was needed, that English royalty is just a collection of bloody awful parasitic scoundrels. Eeh! They ALL were Bild, and not just the English versions. And thus why those enlightened gentlemen living a couple hundred years ago or so along the Atlantic coast were so insightful in their words, "All men are created equal"! (...though trust me, I ALSO have my doubts about the wisdom of Representative Democracy TOO!!!) LOL

Sorry ol' boy, but that looks JUST like a young Jill Ireland, and way before she met and married Bronson. (...and I ain't talkin' about Michael Parks here EITHER!!!)

Jill Ireland ?

LOL Good comeback!

>He was an old English King who looked just like Lawrence Olivier: ...WITH a putty nose! (...but UNLIKE Lucy's, Bill Holden doesn't set HIS on fire!

>FredCDobbs wrote:I never saw that film. >You should. It's better than Citizen Kane. LOL Naaah, as I recall the Vinnie Price flick doesn't have a sled in it ANYWHERE! And EVERYBODY knows puttin' a SLED in a flick will automatically make it MUCH better! (...it's just too bad most directors today have forgotten this!)

AH! I see while I was doin' my Peter Lorre impression, you figured it out, eh?! Yep, that's Carol.

>The star is so distracting. "Hee hee hee. I put that winking, blinking star in there just to mess with your mind!"

OH, and btw Fred, and to answer this earlier question of yours here... >I didn't mean to offend anyone by mentioning this Oriental movie. Now, I don't know about anybody else around here, but I certainly wasn't "offended" at all with you mentioning this film. (...nope, in FACT I was somewhat pleasantly SURPRISED to learn of a film that was made ANY PLACE in the world and decades after Louis B. Mayer was death and buried and that YOU actually LIKED!!!) LOL

Have one that MIGHT be a little tricky...

Yeah, you did mention that in the '22 version, Michael isn't killed by Rupert when he's caught in flagrante with Michael's beloved, but instead is killed in a sword fight against Rudolf. I think I'd like the latter versions' plotline better, however. (...I mean how many sword fights does a hero have to be in anyway, eh?!)

Here ya go, ML11. And yeah, I think you're right.

LOL Yeah, that's true, VX. BUT, I'll bet ya didn't know The Bard came THIS close instead to ending all his plays with a line that Porky Pig would make famous about 400 years later!!!

Yeah...I know, I know. He never wrote ANY car chases into his plays, huh! (...all it ever is, is "Talk, Talk, Talk"!!!) LOL Edited by: Dargo2 on Feb 5, 2013 7:55 PM

Well, ya have to remember clore...Rupert WASN'T a very nice guy!

Ahem...ya know movielover11, I THINK it might be time for you to brush up your Shakespeare. 'Cause maybe you don't know this, but BOY the women you will wow!

Seeing as how the '37 version of "Zenda" has always been my favorite Swashbuckler, Tom, do you know if TCM has ever shown the '22 version? 'Cause I'd love to see it shown on the Silent Sundays series. Btw, I've just returned from the IMDb website and the "Zenda" page there because I wanted revisit what I've always thought to be some of the best dialogue in any Swashbuckler ever. And sure enough while reading the "memorable quote" page, I was again reminded of what great dialogue it is. Take just one example here, for instance: Rupert of Hentzau: "I see you want to let the drawbridge down. I just killed a man for that." Rudolph Rassendyll: "An unarmed man, of course." Rupert of Hentzau: "Of course!"

LOL OR I'll bet for THAT matter, every time you log into TCM.com's message boards, eh dpompper?! (...and Lord knows I do MY best to represent the latter of those here!)

Yes, but I believe the technical term for this back in the heyday of the Short Subject One-Reel Comedies was..."Making the alligator, monkey or dog look like it was talking". (...that's kinda what you were referring to here, wasn't it Sepia?)
